I was going to edit a post I made earlier and went back to the posting/thread but I couldn't find the EDIT button.
Did something change or did I open the thread the wrong way?
Edit: That's odd. Looks like I can edit a thread I just posted to but not to another thread. Maybe if I need to edit something do I have to add a new post to that thread to "enable" the edit function?
Edit2:
I just posted to another thread and the EDIT button was there for that latest post but not for an earlier post in the same thread. Maybe there's a time lock of some sort.
Maybe the latest upgrade for the board software limits your edit time on a post? I know this is the case on the WERA board so maybe it's the same deal here?
There is a time limit on edits, mainly because if a spammer joins the forum and makes a legit post about motorcycles, there is no way to distinguish him as a spammer. He can come back a month later and edit the post and add a slew of spam links. The post will not bump up on the first page, because it is an edit, not a new post. So, he gets credit for the spam by his SEO manager, and our forum slowly becomes a spam magnet again.
My suggestion, just PM me with the post and content you wish to edit, or make a reply post with the new info.
I thought it was different. It seems like any post that has had a reply, the original post can no longer be edited. I have a sticky in the 2-sroke street section entitled general info and specs. It has been up for nearly a year, has had over 1270 views but has had no replies. I still have the option to edit the post, but if someone replies (no reason to) the edit option will vanish.
EDIT: although the option to edit the post was available just a few weeks ago - it is now gone.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.
